You already know that we're REALLY into recycling, with our swimwear being made of ECONYL regenerated nylon and all 😇
So of course we could not let Global Recycling Day pass by without sharing our favorite recycling tips:
1. Follow the instructions on the recycling bin. Sounds easy enough, yet many people don't do this. By throwing the wrong things inside, you can contaminate the whole bin!
2. Food, liquids, straws, plastic cups and plastic dishware are always a big no-no in the recycling bin.
3. Some plastic bottles and jugs can be recycled, but not all! Check the instructions on the containers before you throw it in the recycling bin.
4. Do not put cheesy and oily pizza boxes in the recycling bin. However, if they're made of cardboard and don't contain any plastic, they can be composted.
5. Scrape out the leftovers from all bottles, jars, containers, and cans before putting them in the recycling bin, and remove all metal jars.
6. If you must buy single-use batteries, make sure to bring them to a recycling facility or store that recycles batteries after using them. Or better yet, avoid them altogether and stick to rechargeable batteries!
7. When in doubt, throw it out. Making a mistake can contaminate other materials that would have been recyclable.
